Graduation Information

Each candidate for graduation must fulfill the following requirements for a certificate of completion, an associate degree, or baccalaureate degree:

1. Complete a graduation application and submit it to the Registrar’s Office no later than 14 calendar days before the ceremony, as indicated on the academic calendar. Students are encouraged to complete and submit the application immediately following enrollment in their final semester courses.
2. Review the advising worksheet (also referred to as the graduation report) with the academic advisor to make sure all program requirements are met. This should be completed prior to the last day to add/drop courses for the semester the student intends to graduate.
3. Verify all personal information is correct in my.uttc.edu and on the graduation application. The name entered on the diploma, and the address to which it will be mailed will be taken from the graduation application.
4. Courses considered for meeting graduation requirements must have been completed with a minimum grade of 2.0 (“C”, or higher”). Courses that resulted in a grade of less than 2.0 will not meet graduation requirements.
5. Students who are enrolled in the summer semester, and will have fulfilled the graduation requirements for their program of study at the end of the summer semester, will be allowed to participate in the preceding May commencement ceremony. The degree will not be conferred until the end of the summer semester after grades are posted and the student has met the minimum requirements. The diploma will be mailed within 30 after the grades are posted for the summer semester if the student meets the criteria for the release of the diploma.
6. The Registrar’s Office will waive the requirements for OSHA 10 and/or First Aid/CPR for students enrolled in certificate programs that require these certifications if the student can provide proof of current certification at the time of semester registration. Each one of the certifications must be valid at the time the student graduates from the respective program. The waiver for these two courses will apply only to students in the certificate programs. If a student fails to provide the current certification cards for OSHA 10 and/or First Aid/CPR before census date on the UTTC academic calendar, the student will register for a complete the courses at UTTC and will be charged tuition and fees for the course (s). The First Aid/CPR card must include certification in Adult First Aid/CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED).
